Silent Hill director reveals new horror game Slitterhead

With Akira Yamaoka music too!

While horror fans await with dread to see what Konami practice with Silent Colina adjacent, several people vital to that serial accept announced a new horror game of their own, Slitterhead. Revealed during The Game Awards tonight, information technology's coming from Bokeh Game Studio, who are led by Silent Hill managing director Keiichiro Toyama and boast a number of other people from the Silent Hill and Siren games. Check out the announcement trailer below for some deeply unpleasant monsters rampaging in a city.

I actually, actually similar how that final shot isn't about horrors emerging from a normal-looking person, it'south something terrible slithering away to hibernate inside a normal-looking person. Now that's horror, baby.

Equally for what information technology actually is, well, you'd assume more than action-y than directly survival horror. What with all the dramatic jumps and bloodknifemurder. A mystery for now.

Bokeh Game Studio are led by Keiichiro Toyama, who was director of the first Silent Hill and directed the early Siren games as well. He's joined by folks including Siren concept creative person Miki Takahashi and Siren grapheme designer Kazunobu Sato. And as yous tin can tell from that trailer, heck yeah iconic Silent Loma composer Akira Yamoka is involved.

No word however on when Slitterhead will launch, nor on which platforms. Their website doesn't take whatsoever more info, though their YouTube channel does have chats with some of the team. I'll happily wait for this.

This did remind me that Japanese activity-horror game Ghostwire: Tokyo is due to launch in 2022 (or was, last we heard). It's fabricated past Tango Gameworks, the Bethesda studio who made The Evil Within under Resident Evil 4 director Shinji Mikami. You lot know, it's a shame that wasn't at The Game Awards tonight too. Last we saw was that ghost-punching Ghostwire gameplay trailer at notE3 2020.
